NYC Protest, February 15th

[tmcg]

Information here and leaflets here.

My SO's niece is getting married later that day, but if there's any way for me to get over to 49th and First at noon on Saturday--and I'm driving to Boston the next morning to do five hours of convention programming before driving down to Katonah NY for an evening gig, so I am insane enough to try--then I'll be there.

Way to go, Terry! I really admire you for doing all this!

T'anks, but don't admire too much!--it may not be possible for me to get in for the protest and get back out in time to dress for the wedding. But I'm gonna try!!

Pah, just go in your fancy dress!! *heh*

Ha! I agree! Go in the fancy dress! It is very heartening to see other people going out and trying to do things about the state of the world today. I admire you for that, even if you don't get to go. :)

Re the protest, this is still apt:

I find it very difficult to enthuse
Over the current news.
Just when you think that at least the outlook is so black that it can
grow no blacker, it worsens,
And that is why I do not like the news, because there has never been an
era when so many things were going so right for so many of the wrong
persons.

Definitely still apt. Even twelve days after you posted it, and howevermanyyears after he wrote it.

Sigh.
